Netflix users have been eagerly consuming a highly acclaimed Aubrey Plaza series described as “a masterpiece from start to finish.”
Choosing your next series to binge can be challenging, but with eight episodes that are each 30 minutes long, this show can be watched in its entirety in just one evening.
Plaza is currently appearing alongside Margaret Qualley from Maid and Chris Evans from Captain America in the new comedy-mystery film, Honey, Don’t!
The film centers on private investigator Honey O’Donahue (played by Qualley), who delves into a peculiar mystery in Bakersfield involving cults, drugs, murder, and a corrupt preacher.
This 2023 Netflix series brings together two of the three lead actors – Plaza and Evans – once again.
The series is a continuation of a highly successful 2010 movie; however, it has been more favorably received by both Rotten Tomatoes audiences and critics compared to its predecessor.
Additionally, between July 2023 and June 2025, the series has accumulated over 34.4 million hours of viewing time, according to FlixPatrol.
The show features Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Kieran Culkin, and Brie Larson. With such a stellar cast, the series might already sound familiar to you…
The plot follows a laid-back bassist in an indie band who becomes smitten with a mysterious woman. To win her affection, he must confront her seven evil exes.
This storyline may ring a bell as it mirrors the plot of the 2010 hit movie, Scott Pilgrim Vs the World.
While this series is an animated take on the film, it introduces several plot twists, offering viewers an exciting new journey through the universe they adore.
The series, titled Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, has received an impressive 96 percent rating from Rotten Tomatoes critics.
The critics’ consensus states: “Retaining the heart and wit of the original movie while also carving out a fresh path for itself, Scott Pilgrim takes off in the animated medium and soars.”
Fans have also given it a high rating of 85 percent across 1,000 reviews. One viewer commented: “One of the best animated shows I’ve seen in a long time. Takes the great story of Scott Pilgrim and flips it on its head to deliver an epic emotional journey with stunning animation.”
Another fan concurred: “The show is a masterpiece from start to finish. Everything that can be done right was done. 100/100.”
A third review read: “I didn’t expect the twists and turns; the storytelling and world building were outstanding. Let’s not forget the art style – magnificent!”
One more social media user remarked: “Sparks! Totally sparks! This is beautiful, and I want more, please.”
Sadly, the series was designed as a one-season show, so there won’t be a second season in the future.
Nonetheless, it’s a fantastic series for your next binge session, so be sure to add it to your watch list.
Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is currently available for streaming on Netflix.
